It is not normal, in my experience with Impress/LibreOffice. I experience similar lock ups, most likely due to Gnome doing some magic in the background - it locks my email client (evolution) or gui file manager every now and then. If I wait long enough it recovers, usually I end up rebooting thought.
Maybe, I should get a dog too, it could save me from annoying rebooting. -T On Tue, Feb 4, 2020, 12:52 Michael Barnes <barnmich...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a Linux Mint 18 desktop, fairly recent and normally quite > responsive.
